Summary:ObjectivesTo determine the efficacy and safety of Optic Nerve Sheath Fenestration (ONSF) for salvaging acutely threatened vision in patients of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH).MethodsThis retrospective, interventional case series study was performed at Institute of Ophthalmology Mayo Hospital Lahore from September 2017 to September 2019. Nine patients diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension as per Modified Dandy Criteria, underwent medial trans-conjunctival ONSF. Pre-operative and 1st day, 1st week, 1st month, 1st year, and 2nd year postoperative best-corrected logMAR visual acuities (BCVA) were recorded. Mean BCVA were calculated and compared using paired t-test. P-value
